Bad luck !

I think one of the dealers down there organises rides out, not sure which one or what they're like though. Not much help really am I ?

Well worded :yes:

Nadroj always seems to know what rides are on. He attends rides from starting from Stratford as well as New Plymouth. You could do worse that PM him.

Be carefull of Cooks Honda Tuesday rides(iirc)they head to Alton pub once a year,about 4 yrs ago I went on it,pretty friggin shit riding display by a few(mostly Stratford dudes)i.e passing with cattle trucks coming,etc.We were turning right from South Rd opposite Intermediate school and nearly got rear ended by a twit passing his mates,and didn't see me in middle of road,luckilly I saw him in mirrors and did a quick turn,into Victoria St,missing a car (well was close)but had I stayed for car would've been smacked from behind.

Go and annoy Paul,he's a good bugger,we called in between xmas and new year and the bugger was away.

And if a member of South Taranaki Club join their tourers group.
